"Do Or Do Not, There Is No Try" ft. Tarik Williams aka Vision of Hope

51m · Published 15 Jun 04:00

This week we’re diving into the importance of language and the power of commitment. Tarik invited me to join him on his podcast to discuss my experience with the 75 Hard Challenge and how I committed to executing it without turning back. We talked about the initial doubts and difficult moments, and how the structured routine can actually improve your personal and professional life.

Tarik highlighted the idea that these challenging moments are actually opportunities for growth rather than dark places. I compared that to David Goggins' book, "Never Finished," where Goggins speaks about turning dark places into opportunities and discovering the light at the end of the tunnel. We both agreed that embracing this is the secret sauce for self-improvement and personal growth. But we also had to acknowledge that the journey wasn't always easy, thinking back to the late-night freezing outdoor workouts in pouring rain.

This was a great reminder that embracing life’s challenges and committing to consistent growth can lead to huge results in our lives. So remember, the journey to success begins with taking that first step, so stay inspired, stay determined, and as always…enjoy your first sip!
